Pea-shoot and coconut-meat product recalls expand in B.C.

Two recent food recalls involving pea shoots and coconut meat sold in B.C. have been expanded to add further products to their lists.

A food recall warning issued on April 19 for Golden Pearl Mushrooms’ GPM brand Pea Shoots was expanded on April 24 to encompass further products. The products have been distributed in B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan, and possibly nationally.

The recall was initiated due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The additional products all have the code 10851 and include:

Sweet Pea Shoots (230 grams) with UPC number 6 84469 00008 7;

Pea Shoots (100 grams) with code 6 84469 00012 4;

Pea Shoots (455 grams) with UPC number 6 84469 00018 6.

Anyone who has these products should dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.
